The first MSX-type computer was developed in 1983 as a homecomputer. It was based on a z80 chip which has some things in common with 80286 chips. The first DOS-versions were very similar to MS-DOS. The MSX was not as widely spread as the c64. In some countries they never heard of the machine at all.
MSX Pinballs
The Pinball games on the MSX (as I know them) are listed below. I thought there should be a Nightmission and a Midnight magic as well on MSX, but I am not sure.

MSX Emulators
There are a lot of different emulators know to run the old 8-bit MSX-games.
In fmsx you need to add -ram32 or something to the commandline. In Ru-msx you need to run it in MSX2plus mode to run Fireball (msx2 mode doesn't have enough memory).
Some programs need a clean MSX boot (with ctrl keys pressed), but the disk (menu) gives you info on that!
Or check out comp.sys.msx
MSX Pinballs for Emulators
Available for download is a zip file containing a .dsk file with a number of different pinballs for MSX emulators. Some pinballs included are Pinball, Rollerball, Thunderball, Pingball maker.
I'm still looking for MSX-PINBALL files (.bin .com .dsk .msx .rom), so
